C. for 4 hours and then the solvent was removed under a reduced pressure. The reaction product was extracted with ethyl ether, washed with water, dried on Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4. The solvent was distilled off and then the resulting oily substance was refined through a silica gel column chromatography (ethyl ether-ethyl ether/triethylamine=10/1) to obtain 253 g (71.3%) of an intermediate as oily substance.

To a mixture of 53 g (111.2 mmol) of this oily substance, 16.7 g (165.2 mmol) of triethylamine and 60 mg of CHCl.sub.3, 100 ml CHCl.sub.3 solution of 13.3 g (122.6 mmol) of ClCOOC.sub.2 H.sub.5 was added in dropwise for 1 hour at room temperature and under inert gas atmosphere and after completion of the addition, the resulting solution was further stirred for 1 hour. The resulting reaction mixture was washed with water, dried on Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4, and subjected to distillation to remove the solvent. The remaining oily substance was dissolved in 1 liter of ethyl ether, ice-cooled to add 17.5 g of LiAlH.sub.4 and then refluxed for 4.5 hours under stirring. The reaction mixture was cooled and 70 ml of 0.8 N-NaOH was added thereto to cause a decomposition of the catalyzer. A forming precipitate was filtered off. The filtrate was washed with CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 and subjected to distillation under a reduced pressure. The remaining oily substance was refined through a silica gel column chromatography (CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 -ethyl ether) to obtain 47 g of an oily substance. The oily substance was dissolved in 350 ml of methanol, 375 ml of 2 N-HCl were added thereto and then the resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour to obtain 33.2 g of forming crystals. The filtrate was concentrated under a reduced pressure, made into alkali state with ammonia, extracted with CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, dried, subjected to distillation to remove the solvent, and then the remaining oily substance was separated and refined through a silica gel column chromatography (ethyl ether-ethyl ether/triethylamine=10/1) and converted in methanol into its hydrochloride to obtain 8 g thereof in the form of crystal. These crystals were combined (total 41.7 g, yield 52.9%) and then recrystallized from water/ethanol/methylethylketone to obtain the objective compound (chloride) as colorless prism crystals having melting point of 188.degree.-194.degree. C. (dec.). This salt may be made into free base, in a conventional manner.

Pharmaceutical Tests

(A) Analgetic Action

(i) Haffner's Method

In accordance with a usual manner, dd-male mice of 14 to 22 g were classified into groups, each having 10 mice, compounds to be tested in various concentrations were given to each mouse and then clamped a tail root of the mouse with use of Koffer clamps in each time period of having lapsed 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes from the dosage to measure an analgetic action of the compounds by judging as "negative" when the tested mouse cries or looks back.

Further the number of deaths was counted in each 10 mice group after having lapsed 2 hours from dosage of each testing agent into abdominal cavity and then ED.sub.50, LD.sub.50 and 95% confidence limit were calculated based on the Richfield and Wilcoxson Methods to compare the results obtained on the agents.

(ii) Acetic Acid Stretching Method

The dd-male mice of 17 to 23 g were classified into groups, each having 10 mice, and 0.7% aqueous solution of acetic acid was dosed into abdominal cavity for each mouse in a ratio of 10 ml/kg and then a stretching condition was observed over 5 minutes of having lapsed 10 to 15 minutes from the dosage. The test was repeated 4 times to obtain total measured value and an inhibition ratio was measured from number of stretching actions. A judgement has been given in "Yes" or "No" system.

According to the Richfield and Wilcoxson Methods, ED.sub.50, LD.sub.50 and 95% confidence limit were calculated and compared the same for each testing agents and Control.

Each testing agent and control was orally given 30 minutes before the dosage of the acetic acid in a ratio of 100 mg/10 ml/kg.

(B) Cough Curing Action

To each Hartley type guinea pig of 300 to 450 g, 0.5 ml/kg of menbutal was dosed into abdominal cavity to lightly anesthetize. Thereafter, the trachea was exposed by a throat surgical operation and a pin-hole was formed therein so as to allow an insertion of a hog bristle therein. The guinea pigs who have a cough in each time when the bristle was inserted into the pin-hole after having lapsed 5 and 20 minutes from the surgical operation were employed for the test. Measurements of the cough curing action were carried out in each time of having lapsed 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes from a dosage of agents to be tested into abdominal cavity in a ratio of 2.5 ml/kg (50 mg/kg). An inhibition ratio was determined based on total measured value in 6 times tests and a value measured before the dosage.

The inhibition ratio was classified into following 5 stages.

  ______________________________________

     (++)      "                20-35%                                         

     (+++)     "                more than 35%                                  

     ______________________________________                                    

(C) Antipyretic Action

Wister type male rats of 100 to 140 g were classified into groups, each having 4 to 5 rats. The rats were abstrained from food for 1 day and then each rat was entered in each cage. The body temperature was measured under a constant room temperature through the rectum. This body temperature measurement was carried out in 3 times before a dosage of agents as well as after lapsed 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes from the dosage.

Judgements have been given based on following 5 measures.

(-) clearly showing no decrease in the body temperature,

(.+-.) there is found a decrease in the body temperature but a notifiable difference can not be recognized,

(+) decrease in the body temperature is by 1.5.degree. C. and obtained at least one result showing a notifiable difference of P<5%, or the decrease in the body temperature is by 1.degree. C. only but show the value of P<1%,

(++) showing decrease of 1.degree. to 2.degree. C. and obtaining at least one result of a notifiable difference of P<1%,

(+++) showing decrease of 2.degree. to 3.degree. C. and obtaining at least one result of a notifiable difference of P<0.1%.

(D) Effect on Sleep

The dd-type male mice of 16 to 24 g were classified into groups, each having 10 mice. To each mouse, a testing agent was dosed through abdominal cavity and after having lapsed 30 minutes from the dosage, 40 mg/kg of pentobarbital was also dosed through abdominal cavity to measure a time of sleeping period. The sleeping time in question designates a time period, wherein a facing reflex disappears. Judgements were given based on following 7 measures.

(---) sleeping time was shortened by 60 minutes or more in comparison with control,

(--) sleeping time was shortened by 30 to 60 minutes in comparison with control,

(-) sleeping time was shortened by 10 to 30 minutes in comparison with control,

(.+-.) sleeping time was shortened or extended by .+-.10 minutes in comparison with control,

(+) sleeping time was extended by 10 to 30 minutes in comparison with control,

(++) sleeping time was extended by 30 to 60 minutes in comparison with control,

(+++) sleeping time was extended by 60 minutes or more in comparison with control.

(E) Acute Toxity

The dd-type 5 weeks male mice of 21 to 26 g and Wister type 5 weeks male rats of 110 to 150 g were classified into groups, each having 10 mice or rats. After having given testing agents to the mice and rats, general conditions, number of deaths in each day and body weight changes have been observed over 7 days. An LD.sub.50 value was calculated based on total number of deaths during the 7 days testing time period, in accordance with the Richfield-Wilcoxson Method. The surviving animals were dissected to visually observe internal organs thereof.

The following table shows results obtained through the tests as given above.

The agents according to the invention employed for the tests were hydrochlorides of the identified compounds.
